“Beat on the Brat,” The Ramones

It does involve a baseball bat, so close enough, right?
It’s weirdly comforting — in a “who’da ever thunk this would ever happen” way — to hear the Ramones’ Blitzkrieg Bop’s “Hey! Ho! Let’s Go” at major sporting events. (I’m so old I have all the first pressings of Ramones’ albums on vinyl.)
Same thing with the Violent Femmes “Blister In The Sun” becoming ubiquitous at ballgames. Whod’a ever thunk?
